All the guests describe how they\u2019re using the Skills in their relationships. Even better, you can get your hands on all 6 Skills and the step-by-step instructions in <em>The Empowered Wife<\/em> paperback or audiobook.<\/p>\n<p>Or, if you\u2019re a member of the Ridiculously Happy Wife program or Relationship Coach Certification, you can access the video modules on the 6 Intimacy Skills in your program portal.<\/p>\n<p>We know that the 6 Intimacy Skills work because thousands of women have used them to fix their loveless marriages and skyrocket their passion so they feel like irresistible magnets instead of resistible porcupines. That includes me, the coaches, coach-trainees, the podcast guests, students in The Ridiculously Happy Wife program, and thousands of book readers.<\/p>\n<p>But just hearing what the 6 Intimacy Skills are isn\u2019t enough. Just like hearing the word \u201cwater\u201d doesn\u2019t quench your thirst.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re going to want to understand them, learn how to practice them, and why they\u2019re so effective because that\u2019s going to shift you from feeling despair in a marriage where you don\u2019t feel loved to feeling hopeful that you have so much power to bring back that loving feeling. <em>Oh oh that lovin\u2019 feelin\u2019<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>And I know you are serious about having that.

That\u2019s the worst pain. I still remember!<\/p>\n<p>I recently hired a coach to help me strengthen my core and stretch out my quads so they don\u2019t put pressure on my back and knees. The way I do things, my quads get overdeveloped and tight, and I become Quadzilla. I\u2019d been trying to stretch those out myself, but my way wasn\u2019t working.<\/p>\n<p>I needed a new way, and I didn\u2019t know what I was doing that wasn\u2019t working. So I got a coach who has what I want in terms of fitness and muscle balance and the transformation I want to have.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s working. My back feels so good!<\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t know what I didn\u2019t know. Now I wish I had found my coach sooner. Why did I suffer so long when I could have had a coach?<\/p>\n<p>Because it took me a while to find a coach who had what I wanted.<\/p>\n<p>For a loveless marriage, you need a coach who\u2019s been in a loveless marriage and now feels adored, desired, and taken care of by the same man.<\/p>\n<p>That describes just about every Laura Doyle Certified Coach. So look for the official seal when you get a coach.<\/p>\n<p>As long as you get a <a href=\"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/marriage-coaching-vs-counseling\/\">Laura Doyle certified coach<\/a>, you\u2019ll have someone who helps you discover what you don\u2019t know you don\u2019t know in a very soft way. Not in a confronting, judgmental, or condescending way.<\/p>\n<p>Our coaches share their own embarrassing stories. They know how to create emotional safety and ask powerful questions to help you have a breakthrough. And that\u2019s what I want for you: A breakthrough from feeling neglected and abandoned in a loveless marriage so you can feel empowered and adored in a happy marriage.<\/p>\n<p>If your way isn&#8217;t working, a coach will help you get there. Having one of our certified coaches is like having a fairy godmother who is safe and soft and is in your corner, helping you create your desires.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Get_a_Community\"><\/span>3.

I'm Laura. New York Times Bestselling Author I was the perfect wife--until I actually got married. When I tried to tell my husband how to be more romantic, more ambitious, and tidier, he avoided me. I dragged him to marriage counseling and nearly divorced him. I then started talking to women who had what I wanted in their marriages and that\u2019s when I got my miracle. The man who wooed me returned. I wrote a few books about what I learned and accidentally started a worldwide movement of women who practice The Six Intimacy Skills\u2122 that lead to having amazing, vibrant relationships. The thing I\u2019m most proud of is my playful, passionate relationship with my hilarious husband John\u2013who has been dressing himself since before I was born.","sameAs":["https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/lauradoyle.org\/","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lauramdoyle\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/lauramdoyle\/","https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/intimacyskills\/","https:\/\/x.com\/lauramdoyle","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/lauradoyleauthor"],"url":"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/author\/stmonday\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16290","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16290"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16290\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16300,"href":"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16290\/revisions\/16300"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16299"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16290"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16290"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16290"},{"taxonomy":"app","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/app?post=16290"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
